Lee Jung-Jae as Gi-hun looking determined with other players behind him in Squid Game season 1
Summary Squid Game season 2 has an official release date. A second season has been eagerly anticipated since the series became a global hit after Netflix released season 1 in September 2021. Squid Game season 1 ended on a major cliffhanger as Seong Gi-hun decided not to board his flight to the United States and instead turned around, determined to take down the Front Man and the twisted games that claimed hundreds of lives.
The announcement features the Squid Game contestants in their numbered green and white tracksuits as they run, and some fall onto a racetrack while the Front Man watches and declares, "It's been three years. Do you want to play again?" The eerie music from season 1 can also be heard in the promotional video.
While Squid Game season 2 will undoubtedly result in extensive viewership for Netflix, it will be difficult to live up to the success of season 1. Part of the appeal of Squid Game season 1 is that it was a completely new, bold, and shocking series, and there was no widespread awareness of it until it was available to stream and good word of mouth quickly spread.
Another challenge is season 2 being released more than three years after season 1's debut. This streaming issue is not unique to Squid Game, including a similar amount of time passing between recent seasons of Netflix's Stranger Things. Nevertheless, it is still frustrating, and it is reasonable to think that investment in Squid Game will have naturally dwindled since the fall of 2021, and it may be unable to consume social media and pop culture discourse the way it did three years ago.
